Last week amongst all the noise on housing there were some important segments from the ABC which made some significant contributions to the debate. These are worth viewing.
First Lateline interviewed the Grattan Institute CEO on the social and political impacts of housing policy, and also covered negative gearing.
Second The Business covered foreign investors, restrictions on investment lending and the implications for non-bank lenders who are not caught by the APRA “guidance”.
Third, a segment from Insiders on Sunday, dealing with both the economic arguments and the political backcloth.
Next a segment from Australia Wide which explores the tensions dealing with housing in a major growing city, Brisbane. No-one wants building near their backyard, so how to deal with population growth.
